Characterization of Nestin, a Selective Marker for Bone Marrow Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are multipotent cells capable of differentiating into multiple cell lineages and contributing to tissue repair and regeneration. Characterization of the physiological function of MSCs has been largely hampered by lack of unique markers. Nestin, originally found in neuro...
